If those 50-60$ are "sale" prices you might see similar discounts compared to the MSRP of the ARC. And almost 400 MB/s write for a modern 120 GB SSD is extremely fast.. others stay below 200 MB/s.Reply

Nobody here is going to buy one of these drives at 50 cents/GB, because nobody here is going to buy a SSD from the likes of a mainstream retail chain. On websites that cater to bulk cheap nerd sales these will sell for substantially less, and the price will of course drop over time as well.We all have OCZ to thank for pushing SSD prices below the $1/GB mark, maybe with drives like this we will have them to thank for seeing prices drop below the $0.25/GB mark in the next year or two.Reply

I strongly suggest avoiding all the value brands, which include OCZ, Kingston, PNY etc.

Each of the above has exhibited far to many shady practices, poor customer support and/or satisfaction, when there are so many other superior manufacturers of client SSDs (e.g. Samsung, Crucial, Sandisk) to consider.
